Not my auction, but with all the threads here recently regarding unopened silver proof sets, I thought this might be of interest. Don't know how to link it. I have never seen a box like this offered. Is this how they came?

would love to open that box up
That's a heck of a lot of Bu dimes!
I'd think some tellers might break their nails trying to open that up.
<< <i>The access hole?
It's big enough.

My guess is if someone bought it in person in the past they wanted to peek inside and verify what was in it.
That might even be why they penciled 1961 on the box if they saw the dates were 1961.
Why I dont know, what good is an unc roll of 62 dimes, what would you look for 68 FT's? then all the grading fees. Would be cool to do some kind of group deal someday

Some good eyes here! The penciled in 1961 on the box and the hole certainly raises some questions!
I like your idea Big E. I posted this because it's neat but way outside my price range. Not sure what the attraction would be for an unopened box of late date silver dimes other than it's never been opened. I am not aware of much to look for though.
if they just opened them up and sold them at melt... when you consider the fees
that will have to be paid i imagine.
10 mins left.
<< <i>Looks neat, I haven't seen the straps on boxes. Are straps common on old boxes?

They used a special tool, a band cutter. It just snapped the band apart.

doh. i missed that.
Many members on this forum that now it cannot fit in my signature. Please ask for entire list.
From the rust on the bands, it looks like the box has been in a moisture rich enviorment at some time. Could be some nice EOR toners in there
OR they could all be toned black
Edited to add: Hell, I'd even pop for 10 rolls . . .

Successful Trades: Swampboy,
After 2, 1 day listings with the seller not selling the brick, he busted it.
Had 3, 1 day auctions for 10 rolls each. I snagged THIS one.
He is also sending me the original packing slip pictured in the auction. Said he's putting the other 20 rolls back in the SDB and going to hold them awhile.
Anyway, I'm HYPED ! ! !
Anyone else here win one of the other auctions?
